Life doesn't need to calm down for you to feel calm. That's just the inside-out game, baby.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop of complaints about your boss, partner, or the world in general? In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy dives into why constant complaining might be keeping you stuck in your drinking habits. Lee introduces the concept of the 'Outside-In' game versus the 'Inside-Out' game, inspired by his mentor Preston Smiles and Dr. Richard Schwartz's Internal Family Systems Therapy.
The 'Outside-In' game is when your peace and happiness are dictated by external factors, leaving you reactive and drained. On the flip side, the 'Inside-Out' game is all about taking ownership and shaping your internal world first, which then positively influences how you interact with the external world. This shift in perspective can be a game-changer for anyone struggling with alcohol reliance.
Lee shares practical mirror questions to help you reflect on your behaviour and move from a reactive state to a self-led life. With a mix of humour and hard-hitting truths, Lee encourages you to stop blaming others and start taking responsibility for your actions. If you're tired of feeling like a victim of your circumstances and want to reclaim your power, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps to help you make that shift.
